    Dear Reader,In celebration of true love, here's a Valentine's Day treat--the tale of two star-crossed lovers who can't see that they're perfect for each other....Lady Emma Beaumont and Lord Alasdair Chase were once inseparable childhood friends, then betrothed lovers. But something went dreadfully awry, and Emma left Alasdair practically at the altar. Now, two years later, Emma has inherited a substantial fortune...but there's one small string attached: until the day she weds, Emma cannot spend a farthing without Alasdair's consent.The thought of having to go to Alasdair, with his mocking smile and derisive eyes, every time she needs money is not to be borne. Emma swears to Alasdair that she'll have both a husband--and a lover--by St. Valentine's Day. Alasdair vows she won't--unless he himself becomes both her lover and her husband. In fact, he's looking forward to employing every form of sensual persuasion he dares to convince his passionate, headstrong Emma that she'd rather have him than any other man. Will he succeed?...or will Emma get her way?Warmest wishes, Jane Feather ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gemma Dawson.

    Dissatisfied with her job as a pharmaceutical rep and struggling with the decline of her long-term relationship, Grace, a well-heeled Londoner, uses yoga class to unwind, reflect, and momentarily transcend her earthly dilemmas. While pitching her company's latest antidepressant to the disarming Dr. James, she is inspired by his plan to study Eastern medicine in Vietnam and decides to quit her job to become a yoga teacher. After studying at the eccentric White Lotus Foundation in California, Grace returns to London ready for her new life. But nothing could have prepared her for the motley crew of students she amasses - from the octogenarian industrialist desperate for distraction to the supermodel who indulges yogic aspirations when she tires of kabbalah to the American film star who uses yoga classes to conceal a scandalous affair. Overwhelmed, Grace soon finds herself relying on her bicontinental correspondence with Dr. James for solace and inspiration, his words hovering above her London life like a sweet promise. With an eye for the absurdity in every encounter, Alexandra Gray gently skewers our society's preference for a quick-fix nirvana in this chronicle of one woman's quest for love and meaning in a world numbed by materialism and psychotropic drugs. ungekürzt.

    What is sin? Is it simply wrongdoing? Why do its effects linger over time? In this sensitive, imaginative, and original work, Gary Anderson shows how changing conceptions of sin and forgiveness lay at the very heart of the biblical tradition. Spanning nearly 2,000 years, the book brilliantly demonstrates how sin, once conceived of as a physical burden, becomes, over time, eclipsed by economic metaphors. Transformed from a weight that an individual carried, sin becomes a debt that must be repaid in order to be redeemed in God's eyes.Anderson shows how this ancient Jewish revolution in thought shaped the way the Christian church understood the death and resurrection of Jesus and eventually led to the development of various penitential disciplines, deeds of charity, and even papal indulgences. In so doing, it reveals how these changing notions of sin provided a spur for the Protestant Reformation.Broad in scope while still exceptionally attentive to detail, this ambitious and profound book unveils one of the most seismic shifts that occurred in religious belief and practice, deepening our understanding of one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience.The book is published by Yale University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.Selected as a Choice Outstanding Academic Title."Wonderful and surprising…a significant contribution…" (Commonweal)"Highly commended to students, scholars, and libraries as a valuable and insightful addition."

    Radikal intellektuell, gefährlich amüsant, am Ende fast ein Politkrimi und dabei tief melancholisch - eine Entdeckung. Was ist zu tun, wenn man von allem endgültig genug hat, der Therapeut aber dennoch Vorsätze für das neue Jahr hören möchte? Frank Stremmer, Anfang vierzig, ausgebrannter deutscher Expat in Diensten einer illustren internationalen Genfer Organisation, rafft sich zu einem letzten Kraftakt auf: zwölf Frauen in zwölf Monaten! Ohne Geld, ohne Versprechungen, ohne Perspektiven. Was als Witz, als müde Provokation gegenüber seinem Psychologen beginnt, entwickelt sich schon bald zur fixen Idee. Immer verbissener verfolgt der PR-Mann sein "Projekt", immer grotesker werden seine Annäherungsversuche. Denn am Ende, so hat Stremmer es sich vorgenommen, soll nichts Geringeres stehen als: die Erlösung. Zwölf Frauen in zwölf Monaten bedeuten für ihn die "Legitimation" zum Freitod. "Das Jahr der Frauen", das sind die amüsant-absurden Notate eines Besessenen. Sex als Sterbehilfe, Flirts im Endzeitmodus mit Judith Butler als Stichwortgeberin. Stremmers irrwitzige Jagd durch Online-Portale, Bars und Schlafzimmer endet jedoch nicht im Frieden leerer Schlaftablettenröhrchen, sondern im Chaos, im blutigen Staub eines afrikanischen Bürgerkriegsstaates. Der finale, frauenlose Akt? Oder gar ein Neubeginn? Christoph Höhtker, 1967 in Bielefeld geboren, Soziologiestudium, Taxifahrer, freier Journalist, Sprachlehrer, Werbetexter. Lebt und arbeitet in Genf. deutsch. Erich Wittenberg. https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/002512/bk_lind_002512_sample.mp3.
